Poll Question

If the children shovel your driveway when you are out of town, do you owe them the $20? 

☐  Yes  or ☒  No 

I have selected, no for my answer because these local children did not have a formal verbalized or written contractual continuous agreement with me which stipulates each time, I am out of town these local children have my legal permission to shovel my driveway or walkway when snow falls have accumulated over a particular number of inch[es].  And, another issue with these local children shoveling my snow is the verbalized contractual linguistic misinterpretations, that allows verbal exchange agreement with children to have nonconsensual rights to shovel my property, driveway and walkway filled of snow without the legal consent from their parents under the age of 18 years old.  Now, we are crossing over into another arena in the “Fair Labor Standard Act (“FLSA”) for which protects youths’ workers from jeopardizing their health, well-being or educational opportunities or labor violations that interprets, if a child can shovel my property, driveway and walkway filled of snow without a parent legal consent.
